I would bet that the vast majority of "flame wars" begin because someone mistakes 
"terse" or "concise" for hostility.

The reverse, being the endless spewing of meaningless words, all the while saying 
nothing at all or even the opposite of what it sounds like, is the art of politicians 
and diplomats.

I'll take a flame war any day, when compared to the alternative.
